Tenant Brendan Appleton, 28, donned the costume while his housemate Pete Oldham, 25, took the photographs.

Mr Appleton, who works for Absolute Radio, said: "Primarily it was because we have got quite a big house I thought to give it some scale and to show how big it was to have Spiderman in them.

"You are not going to be living with Spiderman - but obviously that is what Spiderman would say to keep his identity secret. I do love a bit of fancy dress so that is why I have that lying around. We are just normal chaps who had a bit of a silly Sunday afternoon."

He said since they have had an overwhelming response since the advert was posted on Spareroom and Facebook.

Mr Appleton added: "It seems to have worked, whether it was down to Spiderman, or because it is a nice house."

The room is on the market for £575 per month rent, not including bills and comes with a double bed, desk and wardrobe.

Matt Hutchinson, director of Spareroom.co.uk, said: "A bit of light relief in the form ads like this, amongst the constant doom and gloom of the housing market, is always welcome.

"There's an important point behind it too. If you're flatsharing, the people you live with are much more important than the property you live in. Getting your personality across in an ad without overdoing it can be tricky but a bit of humour goes a long way."
